A Second Coming: How Motherjane is defining Ethno-Prog; Again!
Motherjane’s story begins in Kochi in 1996, almost by accident, when drummer John Thomas and bassist Clyde Rozario put a band together for a college festival slot that needed saving.
When people map Indian rock from the south, Bengaluru often becomes the default reference point. Motherjane’s rise out of Kerala shifted that map for many listeners.
Before the band became widely known, they tore through the Kerala college circuit as a cover band. Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, played on makeshift stages and erratic sound systems. Those gigs taught them how to stretch songs, test improvisations, and read a restless crowd.
By 2000, Suraj Mani was in the room, pushing them away from covers and into originals. The early years were pure grind. Deepu Sasidharan has spoken about walking long distances after late night gigs to save up for gear, and Baiju Dharmajan kept homemade pedals together with tape when good equipment was hard to find.
Insane Biography arrived in 2002 and travelled far beyond Kerala. Then Maktub landed in 2008 and rewired the idea of Indian rock for a lot of listeners. Carnatic phrasing and percussion were part of the band’s bloodstream. The chenda sits beside distortion, and songs like Broken, Mindstreet, Fields of Sound, and Soul Corporations carry weight without forcing drama.
The half Kathakali face paint, a visual cue that nodded to Kerala’s classical language, represents a split between the human and the divine.
Recognition followed, including major stages, plus opening slots for acts like Megadeth, Machine Head and Opeth. In 2024, after a 12 year break, Motherjane reunited and returned to the stage with Suraj Mani and Baiju Dharmajan at the front, alongside Deepu Sasidharan, Alan Santosh, and Alloy Francis. The comeback moved quickly into serious festival billing, including Mahindra Independence Rock, and into the promise of new work.
In 2026, Mani describes the upcoming album Dobareh as a phase about second chances, and about the work of knowing the self. Their long shadow is partly musical and partly cultural. They made it easier for heavy Indian bands to sound local without sounding like a gimmick.

I lost $729K USD worth of BTC after my Cold Card wallet was hacked few days ago, who would have thought that could’ve happened ? Well, it did and it ruined my financial situation immediately. I was left in shambles and I was disoriented. I happen to stumble a post on Twitter about a writer who had been in similar situation, then I realized the hack was huge as over $100m was lost to this cold card wallet hack. I contacted one of the victims on Twitter who was able to recover their wallet and BTC funds with the help of Morphohack Cyber Service, a crypto and funds recovery service, Morphohack Was able to offer the same services to me, and within a few hours after contacting Morphohack, my wallet and BTC was recovered. After the hack, I thought all was gone for good but I’m astonished that a team like Morphohack is out there helping victims of crypto loss recover their money. I highly recommend them (Morphohack@cyberservices. com) they are very trustworthy and reliable.
